Lord Era: I, The Strongest Abyss Lord!

On the trial continent.

As more and more lords poured in, battles between various regions began to become more and more frequent.

But at the same time, the trade and communication between lords and lords, and between lords and the natives of the Trial Continent also became more frequent.

This virgin land, which was originally undeveloped, is now changing almost every day under the hard work of countless lords.

Countless farmlands have been reclaimed, countless mineral deposits have been turned into mines, and countless forests have been turned into logging camps.

The emergence of roads and the establishment of bases made the Prosperity of Civilization begin to appear in the Trial Continent.

But this group of lords who appeared like locusts turned a blind eye to the changes in the Trial Continent.

Because they know very well that the ultimate goal of these "farming" and "development" actions on the trial continent is to better conduct wars.

The ultimate goal of the war is to obtain more resources.

In this way, war and construction have formed a strange endless loop.

Although most of the lords go back and forth in this cycle, there are still some special lords who have seen the essence of things clearly and have their own unique insights into this cycle.

In the eyes of these special lords, the most important thing is to jump out of meaningless wars and maintain the trade and development of their own territories.

In their thinking, war is just a tool to achieve their own goals, and development and growth are everything, which is the original meaning of the age of lords.

And they are destined to become the strongest group of lords.

"Are you back? Has the human town named Mooreston been captured? How are the casualties?"

Lord Su Yingxue looked at the map in front of her, and said to her best friend Li Sinuo who was teaming up with her.

"Casualties were minimal, almost negligible."

Li Sinuo, who was dressed up, casually threw the blood-stained helmet aside, slumped on the chair and said.

"After all, with Ms. Shire, the fifth-level magister, a small town in the farming era is basically the same as if it had no defenses. It will be won after three attacks and five divisions."

"Although you are not tired in fighting, Ms. Shire's enthusiasm is unbearable. I really don't know how you escaped her harassment, but then again, with such a hero by your side, hehe... ..”

Su Yingxue turned her head and said helplessly.

"I didn't ask about the casualties of you and your soldiers. I asked about the casualties of the residents in Mooreston."

"When you attacked this small town, you didn't hurt too many innocent people, did you?"

Hearing this, Li Sinuo immediately rolled his eyes, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I swear, absolutely not! No innocent person was implicated in this attack."

"Except for a few townspeople who were too panicked and fled, the remaining 3,000 townspeople have been included in your territory intact. Oh yes, there are also 230 surrendered guard soldiers."

"Last time I only killed two farmers, and you sprayed me for an hour, so this time I was very careful."

Speaking of this, Li Sinuo said a little puzzled.

"By the way, my dear Lord Su Yingxue, why can't you treat these leaders as slaves like other lords?"

"You know, we are now in the expansion period, and it is a loss-making business to raise so many people for nothing."

"Turning them into slaves can not only save a lot of rations, but also allow them to dig mines and cut trees directly. Isn't this better than tax collection?"

Su Yingxue turned her head when she heard this, and said while looking at the map.

"What you said makes sense."

"But that's not what a qualified lord should do."

"A lord, a lord, is called a lord only when he has subjects. If he just blindly regards his subjects as slaves, then it would be better to change his name to a slave owner."

"Only your subjects have recognized you and accepted you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Sinuo couldn't stand the ravings of the self-proclaimed Madonna of humanity, and quickly stopped the other party. "I know I'm wrong, please don't say it!"

"Although I can't understand your ruling method, but considering your current rapid expansion of territory, I admit that what you said is right."

After speaking, Li Sinuo walked over and shared the changed system map with Su Yingxue.

"By the way, after we captured Mooreston, there are only two cities and six small towns left in the Stag Principality, which previously occupied the northern part of the Trial Continent."

"As for us, we own more than 80% of the entire plain. Now we are already the largest force in the entire Trial Continent, number one."

In fact, Li Sinuo's first sentence is absolutely correct.

Because although Wu Wei captured the entire dwarf kingdom at a fast speed, because the dwarf kingdom is underground, the land area he occupies is actually not much.

In addition, Wu Wei's current expansion has begun to be targeted, so in terms of territorial expansion, Su Yingxue and Li Sinuo, who are located at the westernmost end of the mainland, are the fastest ones, at least for now.

"Next, where do we need to attack?"

"Should we continue to attack the Buck Principality and bring the entire kingdom under its command, or should we change our target and attack the orc tribe in the Bitter Sea Desert?"

"Anyway, my suggestion is to attack the Bitter Sea Desert, because the Stag Principality has already received the full support of more than a dozen lords."

"These lords don't want to see our power continue to expand, so they have already accumulated tens of thousands of soldiers in the territory of the Buck Kingdom, just waiting for us to come."

"The situation in the Bitter Sea Desert is a bit special. Although the Bitter Sea Desert itself does not have much land value, the oases inside are very lush, and in the center of the desert, there are three iron mines and a gold mine. mining."

"More importantly, because the orc tribe that ruled this desert, that is, the Black Blade Clan, are particularly aggressive and aggressive, most of the lords chose to avoid the bitter sea desert and did not occupy the bitter sea for the time being. The idea of ​​the desert."

"So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"

Li Sinuo explained.

"Although the Black Blade Clan's combat effectiveness is very strong, the mutant armies under my banner - the Silver Cavalry can perfectly restrain the existence of this group of orcs."

"They are not so difficult for us to chew."

"How about it, should we take this opportunity to occupy the Bitter Sea Desert first?"

Hearing this, Su Yingxue glanced at the map.

She is hesitating.

But after hesitating for a long time, she rejected Li Sinuo's suggestion.

"No, we will not attack the Bitter Sea Desert for the time being. On the contrary, we will take the initiative to avoid that area, and then gather our superior forces to break through the last few towns of the Buck Principality as soon as possible, and drive those dozen lords back to their hometowns. .”

Hearing what Su Yingxue said, Li Sinuo couldn't help asking.

"What? It's fine if you don't fight, why should you take the initiative to avoid the Bitter Sea Desert! Why?"

Su Yingxue took a deep breath, pointed to the map of the Heavenly Dao system and said to Li Sinuo.

"Because I have a feeling."

"Bitter Sea Desert is very likely a potential target for his attack, so I will actively avoid this area."

"Him? His target? Who is he?" Li Sinuo was completely puzzled.

Su Yingxue slowly spat out a name.

"Wu Wei."

"Wu Wei's goal!"
